Mike Schroder joins GoDaddy as full-time WordPress core contributor
Contributing back to WordPress WordPress powers a third of all websites on the internet, and it’s used far more than any other CMS. The crazy thing? It’s entirely free, thanks to the amazing work of volunteers.
We have WordPress because of volunteers, who contribute millions of hours by:
Writing the core software
Creating themes and plugins to extend WordPress
Writing translations and documentation
Organizing WordCamps and meetups
Running WordPress.org and the WordPress Foundation
…and a lot more.
The community of volunteer contributors is what makes WordPress great.
At GoDaddy, we have millions of customers using WordPress — more than any other traditional host. Over the years we’ve contributed back to WordPress through:
Sponsoring Aaron Campbell, the WordPress Core Security team lead, as a core contributor.
Creating and contributing ten themes to the community, some of which are on WordPress.org’s Most Popular themes list.
Contributing the Contact Widgets plugin to the community, which now has over 500,000 active installs.
Contributing translations to WooCommerce, Beaver Builder, Ninja Forms & more.
Contributing user research to WordPress UX,
